THE YANKEE VOLUNTEER.


We all have heard the story.
Borne now on every breeze,
OF the bonnie scottish Thistle
That blew across the seas.
Bringing the breath of heather,
The breath OF Highland hill,
And memory OF old romance
Our Western world 10 thrill!
We love the canny Scot'a land.
We love her mountain crUwn,
We love her Lowland valleys,
Her EdinborO town:
We know the tale OF Bannockburn,
We've read OF Wallace Wight.
And how the dead heart OF the Brucs
Won at Grenada's fight.
But when this homie Thistle down
CONES floating over here,
To meet upon our Western seas
A Yankee Volunteer,
We think th at scottish men mayhap
Marched on that other day.
when Yankee volunteers were out
OF old. up Concord way!
That sacred breath OF Liberty
A tiny zephyr then
Has grOwB INTO a Mighty wind
That shakes thu souls or men;
And when We launch our Volunteer
On this wide Western sea.
From every Old World prejudice
We shake her canvas free
With parcst creed aaf brosicst faith,
With human freedom dear
To every heart by right divine
We freight onr Volunteer;

Flows yet our vsins within.
